To all our Scottish viewers!!!!! We mean no offense by the "Glasgow, England" we wrote on those stoneware bottles! we were just writing what they say on the bottles! we are very aware that Glasgow is in Scotland!, and we respect you! and all our English viewers too!

I have to say, at almost 63 years old, you make me want to go play in the dirt again!! ☺️

Thank you for leaving the text up long enough to read while video is being played at double speed! It is greatly appreciated! Love watching you rediscover this history.

Love the sounds of the trains in the background! Just magnificent!

My grandfather was born in 1882. I really enjoyed listening to his stories about life in the late 1800s. Watching you dig this stuff up helps me understand his experience even that much more vividly. On another note, I would love to own one of those stoneware beer bottles. As a potter, I can tell you bottles are NOT easy to throw - at least not consistently.

I think the circle with hearts you found is a cookie/donut maker. My grandmother had something like it where she would make a batter then dip the iron in it then drop it in hot oil, and the batter would come off the iron/design. There were others and it had a long handle that screwed into it.

Been a fan for awhile.... This is probably the best episode y'all have uploaded. Thank you for the hard work.. Tom& Crew, this is a great example of why I enjoy watching your videos 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🤠

Holy crap what a pit!!! This has to be my favorite dig yet. Thank you for all the entertainment and history lessons you bring us with every video.

These should be boring videos, but can’t look away !! I watch mudlalarking videos from England , but this is just as exciting 😊

Way to go Tom!!! I root for ya every week to find stuff older than 1900! Very, very cool to see you land on an older site! Hell yeah!

That cast-iron pot is intriguing, I'd like to see how one would stabilize/restore it.

Gotta love a packed and DRY pit. So many good finds, that was huge fun watching you dig, except I wish I was there! Still hoping for the “how to clean your bottles” video. 🤞

Wow, that's a pit that kept on giving. Love the ceramic beer bottles and redware jug. Congratulations!

Your proably digging in their rubbish dump. when I was a kid 1962 I moved from the city to the country . I found at the back of a few hundred acre old farm house a 70 year old rubbish dump over the side of a hill . I found colored bottles ,medicine bottles with wire holding the glass caps on . Bottles with glass plugs with old rotten cork on the plug. old rotten wooden buckets ,old pieces of farm ,equipment. Pots and pans ,forks, kives spoons. broken platesand bowls. I saved some of the bottles for years. One of my X wives threw them out .She called them old junk. After watching you date these bottles I wonder if the dump i was looking at might have been older than I realized . Thanks for the video brought back fond memories.

A particularly magnificent haul. Exciting stuff! Glad the "English" bottles hadn't caught you out. You have a huge bank of knowledge in that head of yours and no-one could fail to be impressed by that. I am an avid viewer and a proud Scot from the Isle of Skye.

probably the best bottle finding video ive ever seen. great finds

What a haul guys. Amazing !!! Some of the best history found. Been watching you start you. Are the best on you tube!!! I'm hooked. My dad is an archaeologist and worked on henry the 8's war ship Mary Rose and helped with. Fishbourne roman Palace in. The uk

Tom - i feel that this is your best dig ever! I have been following you for a while now, and you have gained tremendous knowledge about the artifacts. You are demonstrating maturity and professionalism. Thank you for what you do!

Wow this is awesome i love old military 🪖 stuff that's been hidden in the ground for 100s of years thanks for sharing all this history with us

Another awesome and fascinating dig. Those preserve jars would make great vases.

Wow! wow! Wow, What a great haul. Love watching your digs. This old Aussie bottle digger is so envious

I think the cast iron, round with hearts that you asked about, is a pastry mold for deep frying. Love your videos Tom. Wow, this pit was amazing

Hi Tom and jake what a fantastic early bottles pit it's great to see some British bottles the stone beer bottles are very common find in Britain sometimes they have got the makers printed on them there are quite collectable some are ginger beer ones you and jake will have a feel day in Britain digging for really early bottles going back to 1700 hundreds and early 1800 hundreds like I said Tom you have made history there, all the best Andrew south wales uk 👌 👍 👏 😀 🇬🇧

I think it’s safe to say you found the honey hole. Incredible man congratulations!!

The cast iron pot is restorable! Great stuff you're finding!

Hopefully, all of the glass and other articles can be picked out so the property owner can fill in the pit and work the field without glass and stuff getting churned up. That way, people can enjoy the old findings and the freshly cleaned up land. A win-win.

I don't know why, but I just love your videos. They remind me of the late 1970s. My grandmother's house, in rural California (remote) was rented out to another family, who burned it down. My parents were forced to take a mortgage out on their house (a second mortgage) to help pay off the lawsuit that dad's mum lost because apparently there was no screen on the chimney. Dad took us kids hiking to the burned out remnants of the house. (probably burned down in 1975, when I was seven).... and I remember camping out in the rubble of the burned out house. We returned many times, and dad spent his time cleaning out the detritus. It was a three mile hike to the house, with no passable roads. I would scrabble around amongst the ruins and find all kinds of treasures. Coins, perfume bottles, other stuff. Those were some of my dearest memories of that piece of property. Alas, grandmother went senile, and signed it all away to scammers, so that 150 acre chunk of California Real Estate in Santa Rosa went out of the family. But it was an integral part of my childhood.... digging for treasures. I have to wonder if the latrines of California would be as productive as those of more eastern locales.

Wow what a dig! Amazing finds! Love all the stoneware beers!

Worth the wait! Fantastic finds! Look forward to your videos every week, and never disappointed!

Dances with Wolfs Military Camp. So Awesome!!! An Outpost out in the wilderness!!! Every pull is just blowing my mind!!! Great Job, ThX so much for this video!!!

An amazing variety of "new" old treasures. Thanks for the detailed descriptions. I always learn something new.

An absolutely stellar dig. So many treasures. How I wish you had a channel from which we could purchase some of our history. I would even be interested in the broken pieces. My grandfathers both worked for the railroads, and the train whistle in the background made me nostalgic. My father and I both served in the US Army and even took basic training at the same camp, although 30 years apart.

Fantastic day my friend thanks for sharing this video

Tom at his best... un-earthing history.... Thanks, man.

I’m definitely spoiled by your channel you provide so much information and history. Thank you for taking the time making us feel like we are there with you guys!

You guys fucking rock!! you got me excited with that title!

It's late night as I'm watching -- had to up the speed to 2x normal to get through this quickly -- and it was more fun than hunting Easter eggs, watching you pop one amazing item after another out of the pit! So awesome to see them after cleaning, too! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 🪅

We just can’t imagine what life was really like back then but by you digging through these pits the really can bring history to life. We can imagine how tough life was like for them seeing that they ate and what preservatives (pickles, sauces) they used and what they drank to relax. This is an amazing channel. Thanks guys x

You are the 'Tops'. U.K. What a Fantastic Pit! Our English diggers are so jealous! ! ! Well done.

What a wonderful dig, plenty of a hall, plus great peaces and even better your not a mucked up mess, I just fell bad for you when your pit turns into a swamp. Love the finds. Much love. Afriend.

I am British, now in Canada and those brown and white stoneware bottle held Ginger Beer. It is a sparkling soft drink made from Ginger and very fiery. The more modern have a stoneware screw top with a rubber sealing ring. It is great with whiskey. I have been to Burslem, and Hanley (The Potteries) and mother did jam in Kilner Jars. I am very old, 71 yesterday 😅28:20 looks like a pot trivet to stop your hot pans marking the table. You are one of the few people on this side of the pond that pronounces Worcestershire correctly. 😀The was a great dig and so much was intact, very interesting.

I watch every second! Haha.. love watching you carefully dig and highlight each piece. So wonderful!!

What an exciting video! Pharmaceutical bottles are some of the ones that first sparked my interest in bottle digging. I love the food jars as well. Such colors and those droopy lips! Fun Mexican Mustangs, the Squib and US army meds...the beautifully glazed jug...the plethora of stoneware beer bottles... the igloo and then pyramid ink! The treasures just kept coming: congratulations! I am happy for you.

I'm blown away. What a pit. Glad I got to see it. Keep up the good work!!!!

What an amazing find! I have to say I'm a little Jelly! So exciting! I would love to purchase one of the medicine bottles!! Thank you for these great videos! Yall are awesome!!

This is an amazing dig! Really enjoyed it.👍from Kentucky

What a great pit! It showed the difference between a military and a non-military pit of the time. You can imagine the higher ranking people of the time ordering in things that most wouldn't have access to. Nothing has changed over the years really, it's nice to see how long it has been going on. Thanks for the great video!

This video is one of your very best, love the bottles from the 1800’s!

Tom, what a phenomenal dig, what an awesome dig. So many old bottles and loved all of the ginger beers. Outstanding!👍👏😀

The most amazing dig I have seen in a long time! Thank you for your hard work and sharing

I love the history of everything you find. I have been a metal detectorist for over 51 years.

Most definitely my favorite video of yours that I have ever watched! I love learning about your finds when you dig! Makes me want to dig on my ancestors' farm land!

EXCELLENT ADVENTURE!! Thanks for sharing.

So stoked to see another video , and like always.. Tom? You Rock all things?

How all bottles were not broken is amazing. Nice finds.

That haul took my breath away!

Now THAT was amazing. Thank you Tom & Jake!

What a dig!! I have one A+DHC bottle here at the house. They made some great glassware. Thanks a bunch for sharing that dig.

So cool. Digging up history! I can watch your vids for hours. Keep up the good content! Would love to see one dug out east to see some really early stuff!

Wow .. what an amazing video!! You amaze me with the amount of knowledge you have regarding the different things you find. Your hard work and that of the folks helping you put the videos together is greatly appreciated. Thanks again for sharing your treasure hunts with us all.

Hello from Brunswick, Maine, US.. I was hatched in Fort Gary, Winnipeg, Manitoba,Canada, in 1952.

So glad to see you make some more awesome finds! Good job!

Wow! Amazing dig!

Im from Pittsburgh, Pa. Very cool to see some glassware that age all the way over there! Love your videos!

WOW thats an amazing dig

This has been one of my favorite digs. The history it revealed was fascinating! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤

Hello Tom, what amazing finds, great job. Stay safe and take care.👍👍

Fun dig. Great cache of beer bottles!

What a great dig! Good for You! I love watching you dig never knowing what comes next!

Brings back memories......I dug at Natchez-under-the -hill in the 70s and 80s......found lots of the same stuff.... some older stuff also. No pits where I dug.....just the city dump along the Ms River......love your presentation

Finding goodies!!!👏

I'm in awe at what you found man!! Good God!!! Congrats!

This was super exciting to watch! Congrats on a super haul!

Love these old things... Just waiting to be brought to life again by you. I like to think of the people who used the items... From their hand to yours.

Wow!! I was just telling my friend I think I was born in the wrong era...I love stuff like this far more than modern day riches. This was an excellent and fun dig to watch!!

‘Dances with Wolves” comes to mind as I see you raising the debris of the past in this location. Amazing.

Completely amazing views of some amazing stone wears and glass ! Thanks for sharing

Wow what a beautiful bunch of awesome bottles. Love that big jug. Awesome video

I live in Canada, just north of the St. Lawrence river. I used to dive recreationally in the 70's and 80's. This is a very British area, and a place that Empire Loyalist migrated to after the war of Independece. I've only ever come across one stone beer bottle in all my years of diving, to watch you dig up so many so far from the east is stunning. It seems like although the Soldiers / settlers had rejected being British subjects, they retained a taste for english beer. lol Great find, very entertaining, keep up the great work your doing.

Wow, you got jackpot 👍🙏

Amazing fines!! Happy for you all!! Keep up the great work!!

I really enjoyed this episode. I kept saying "wow!" Or "holy cow!" Out loud when i was watching. Could tell you were really enjoying the dig.

You really hit the jackpot !

Y'all should hashtag this with "unintentional asmr" cos this is asmr how it should be done! 😊

Really great dig. Really enjoyed it. What a treat!😊

The circular heart object could be an item used to sit a hot cooking pot/dish ontop of it to prevent burning a table cloth.....❤ Really amazing finds, the best you've ever dug up. I enjoyed all the English found items. I'm half English, nice to see what the English crafted n produced back in the day. I wouldn't sell any of the items. I would clean All n place all within a lovely curio cabinet on display under lock n key in for my private collections.😊 Enjoy, lovely.

Im 65. From Indiana. Guess its the Midwest. Just found you. Subbed.

I'm thinking that a lot of the stuff in this pit came from the officer's mess - all those imported English preserve bottles, wine, champagne and ales - the officers would dine together, usually served by stewards - I don't see the soldiers being able to afford all that imported stuff. I'm thinking the officer's mess stewards were clearing off the tables & chucking the empties into the privy. I think the cast-iron piece with pierced heart design is a trivet for placing hot pots or pans on. All the medicine bottles probably came from the surgeon attached to the fort.

Just found your channel. I could watch for hours. How cool is the unearthing of the past! Well done!

It’s fun watching you find these treasures from the past!

Does any inks have a thin strand of glass for the quill holder, don’t brake it while cleaning?

Holly smokes, nice!!!!

Wonderful and wonder filled dig! Thanks for another intriguing post. Loved the stoneware bottles - I used to have a stoneware glazed gin bottle from Holland which I treasured but was destroyed in a fire. Keep on digging, my friend!

Yes sir great job. I hope you find so much more in your hunting. Best wishes ❤️ 😊

Not pedantic but Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland. Ships left from the west for America. Lovely find.

I love your show. I can't believe some of the things that you guys find. But I need to ask you has anybody ever told you that you look like a young Tom Petty ?

OUTSTANDING MY FRIEND! Have not been Exited in along Time…. I love this, Cheers~

Definitely an awesome dig of beautiful Old finds!
